• GLOBAL WARMING
[Global warming is the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system.]¹ It is a major aspect of climate change and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming. The terms 'global warming' and 'climate change' are often used interchangeably, but more accurately, global warming is the mainly human-caused increase in global surface temperatures and its projected continuation, while climate change includes both global warming and its effects, such as changes in precipitation. While there have been prehistoric periods of global warming, many observed changes since the mid-20th century have been unprecedented over decades to millennia.
The effects of global warming include rising sea levels, regional changes in precipitation, and more frequent extreme weather events such as heat waves, and expansion of deserts. [Ocean acidification is also caused by greenhouse gas emissions]² and is commonly grouped with these effects even though it is not driven by temperature. [Surface temperature increases are greatest in the Arctic]³, which has contributed to the retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Overall, higher temperatures bring more rain and snowfall, but for some regions droughts and wildfires increase instead. Climate change threatens to diminish crop yields, harming food security, and rising sea levels may flood coastal infrastructure and force the abandonment of many coastal cities. [Environmental impacts include the extinction or relocation of many species as their ecosystems change]⁴, most immediately the environments of coral reefs, mountains and the Arctic.
Societal responses to global warming include mitigation by emissions reduction, adaptation to its effects, and possibly climate engineering. Countries work together on climate change under the umbrella of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which entered into force in 1994 and has near-universal membership. The ultimate goal of the convention is to "prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.” Although in the Paris Agreement (2016), the parties to the UNFCCC have agreed that deep cuts in emissions are required and that global warming should be limited to well below 2 °C (3.6 °F), the Earth’s average surface temperature has already increased by about half this threshold and current pledges by countries to cut emissions are inadequate to limit future warming.

NOTAS:
1. Todas las alternativas correctas están presentes en el texto. Las he escrito en negrita y subrayado, y además las he numerado para facilitar su identificación.
2. Hay varios errores en el texto y en las oraciones, pero aquí no hay suficiente espacio para mencionarlos ni —mucho menos— para dar explicaciones, así que simplemente los he corregido. El texto ha sido tomado de una página 'web', por lo que debería haberse citado la fuente. (Lamentablemente, no puedo mencionar el sitio ni incluir el enlace aquí). Se han hecho algunos cambios y adiciones en el texto, en la mayoría de los cuales se han cometido errores.
3. No hay espacio suficiente en mi respuesta para la traducción del texto. La he añadido en una imagen y la he copiado en los comentarios (que espero que tú puedas ver, porque yo no puedo.)
Saludos. ✨
